Beginning today you can download the PC version of Hearthfire via Steam for $4.99.

In case you missed it, with Heathfire you can purchase land and build your own home from the ground up – from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with an armory, alchemy laboratory, stable, garden, and more. Use all-new tools like the drafting table and carpenter’s workbench to transform quarried stone, clay, and sawn logs into structures and furnishings. Even transform your house into a home by adopting children.

In addition to being able to purchase Hearthfire, visit this link to learn about the current Elder Scrolls sale they’re running.

As new information is available for Skyrim add-on content, we’ll keep you posted here on the blog.

The city of Winterhold is a destroyed place, the great collapse ruined almost everything. Out the city there only glacial formations and irregular terrain. Maybe rebuilding one of the ruined houses, the fundations are ok.

I am very disappointed in the lack of news again. I thought HearthFire was a much smaller DLC than DG. PS3 owners really deserve better than “still workin’ on it”. Remember when Netflix CEO Reed Hastings wrote his infamous “We royally F’d up and here’s what we’re doing to make it right” speech about Qwickster? Yeah, you guys are at that point, if not past it.

The patch has the Italian version too. If you waiting for a final solution from the company or a miraculous mod, you need check Oblivion, Fallout 3 and so on.. theres no final solution. They are cool games, but have a lot of bugs.

Skyrim is just to massive for the ps3 to handle as Skyrim is probably the most data heavy game out there and to to the Ps3 having a split memory. Hiring someone who knows what he’s doing on the Ps3 isn’t really a solution There might not even be one unfortunately. I think Bethesda should have skipped the ps3 altogether if they couldn’t get it running properly.

Bethesda is focusing a lot of attention on the Ps3 but unfortunately this may be a hardware issue and not a software one. The PS3 has a split memory which isn’t an issue for most games but open world games have a little trouble on ps3 and Skyrim is one of the most data heavy games of them all. It’s not uncommon to get save files close to 20 MB. So there may not be a solution at all unfortunately.

Ugh, how about you guys fix the actual game first? I find myself quitting every 15 minutes to look up setstage console commands because something is busted in a quest. I haven’t played in almost a month because I get so ticked that damn near everything is broken in this game.

Passing on this and all other future DLCs until a pack comes out. Hopefully the game will run proper by then…

Why wasn’t a patch released for the PC when one was needed for the xbox? Game crashes every time I enter Breezehome, perhaps there are even more problems I’ve yet to encounter, because it’s far too frustrating to play at the moment.

Bethsoft – How many times have you read about your DLCs needing cleaned of ITMs and UDRs ?, DawnGuard was the same, needing an un-official patch to get it right, as were all DLCs for Oblivion before it.

Exclusivity runs out and there’s a day and date release of DLC for the PC and an update for PS3? Nope. I take it that the previous update still applies, and that update was merely a rewording of the initial “this doesn’t work so we’re not releasing it statement” so that would be, no progress whatsoever.

This movie is boring, can we skip to the end where the bad guy finally hits his dead end and delivers his final confession? Just admit that you gave up on Skyrim PS3 months ago, that there will be no DLC and no patches, apologise for all the lies told both before and after release over the last 12-18 months and tell us why we should continue to support you and your future titles. You have the stones right? So man up and tell us what’s going on.

Oh yeah…We can tell.
Last update on August 30th, and nothing since then except a copy and paste job.

We haven’t even gotten a new bug fix for the base game yet even though it is sorely needed.

At this point, I don’t even care about DLC, I would just like the base game fixed. Please. I paid the same amount as PC and Xbox 360 players for a game that does not work half as well. I think the PS3 users deserve at least a base game that works as well as the other consoles.

What people expected?
hey Gstaff, visit the programmers room, ask about all kinds of logs. Then copy in a pendrive and paste here! We have masters in engine development here, we are capable to build nude characters and amazing houses! we can solve!

You answer the criticism of not giving any updates by simply repeating the same line? Reposting that same update over and over gives the impression that no progress has been made, that then leads to the impression that Bethesda aren’t even trying, ie have given up.

If you haven’t given up and are “still working to see what is possible” then you would have a progress update would you not?

You do realize “PR” stands for Public Relations, right? Relating to the public does not mean repeating the same line over and over again. I know that GStaff is in a bad position, and in some ways I sympathize with him, but I and the other PS3 owners deserve some information.

Every single game have a wave of headaches. I need mods to fix clothes, to fix textures, to fix door, to fix quest, to fix every single molecule on the map. I will not buy Hearthfire. Mods are cool, but is better launch a game called “The Elder Tool” for the mod community create the rest.. just a pile of enviroments, clothes and random missions, same effect.

“Dawnguard is obviously not the only DLC we’ve been working on either, so the issues of adding content get even more complicated. This is not a problem we’re positive we can solve, but we are working together with Sony to try to bring you this content.”

Our team is still working to make PS3 content available on PS and doing everything possible to make it a possibility.

Can you really do nothing but post the same comment over and over? All we want is a real, honest update. Has there literally been absolutely no progress at all over the last three months? I don’t know why Bethesda continues to keep us in the dark in this whole thing. We’ve waited and waited and waited, it’s time for Bethesda to start having a real discussion with their fan base about what is going on.

Once you’ve been pulled into a corporate organization, everything becomes secret and you’re just paying for a seat to come along for the ride if you’re a customer. It is literally ruining the gaming industry, save for the few bastions of reason that have rose up to give indie a place on the map.

I have been a loyal fan from daggerfall all they way to skyrim but the way we ps3 players have been abandoned the same excuses and bugs over and over my patience is all but gone sorry to let such a good game go but no reason why I should be loyal to a company that’s not loyal to there fans

Shame? Just check the type of “creative director” have inside one of the partners company. This is Tim Willits, the lame version of John Romero.

“I wanted to strangle him. It’s QuakeCon! Everyone fucking loves Rage here, shut up!” Tim Willits, the creative direct of id Software, told me in an interview the next day. He was laughing, and seemed to take it in stride, but still. Everyone in the room knew this was going to be a big story. “You don’t think everyone in the audience knows that ATI released the wrong drivers? Dude, zip it!”

I remember this. Tim Willits is the kind of soft-spoken handler. I ´am one of the “pc scums” Tim. Your words during the 20 years of id software in 2011, do you remember? or now the console group are scum too?

They need remember about the thousands of dollars.. this shit come from us in the major part.

Still working to see what’s possible?
Do you have 1 guy working with 1 person from Sony in a broom closet, or what?
Months have passed and you’re telling us you’ve made no progress?
Am I the only 1 losing faith in Bethesda’s abilities?

Great mod! But it really bothers me that you can’t remove wings/rooms if you mess up. Please can this be an added option? I ruined one of my houses and don’t even go there any more, which really upsets me. I know lots of other people want this too!

IF THE NEXT POST ABOUT SKYRIM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PROGRESS ABOUT ANY SKYRIM DLC ON PS3 I WILL NOT BUY ANYOF THEM. GUYS JUST GO BUY ASSASINS CREED 3 IT WON’T BE AS BROKEN AS ANY BETHESDA GAME IS ON PS3. BETHESDA, KEEP SUCKING ON MICROSOFT AND BILLGATES DICK BECAUSE THEY PAY YOU MORE THAN WE EVER HAVE AND EVER WILL. ALL OF YOUAT BETHESDA CAN GO FUCK YOURSELF AND THEN GO FUCK MICROSOFT BECAUSE ITS THE ONLY THING YOU ARE GOOD AT GOD DAMN BASTARDS!!

Do not blame Microsoft. if Sony had caught exclusivity first, other users would be in trouble now. I will not consider a inverse scenario better, just because Sony is “nice”. Is just another giant money maker, full of bullshit too. But i respect the users, like me and my frozen PS3 Skyrim.

The shame here is the failure in the final result with the multiplatform after five years.

Incidentally, everyone keeps complaining about a lack of updates from the company. Given the stuff they have to read it’s no wonder that they choose silence as no matter what they say, there is resentment and insults being flung.

Hearthfire crashes every single time I enter a built home after placing a door on it, even if I remove all items and followers, even if I disable everything else. It’s unusable and the user mod that has you build a house is FAR less buggy. That is sad.

I’m not sure if anyone has reported this game breaking bug and I’m not sure where to report it. But I’m experiencing this too and it obviously makes Hearthfire unplayable, since you can’t build a house, which is the main point of this DLC.

I’m sorry, I seem to have missed that some people actually got their problems resolved by uninstalling certain mods. Then I must say that I’m at a loss here, because I’ve already tried with every mod uninstalled. I was almost certain that this must have been a bug.

Nevermind, it’s resolved now. I reloaded back to before I had started the Hearthfire quests and then it just worked.
I have already tried that once before with no success, don’t now why it suddenly decided to work this time. I’m just glad it did.

Yes, I’ve got mods installed, though none of which they’re mentioning in that thread. I’ve also tried to play without any mods what so ever and I still get the same problem. I’ve just started a new game to see if it was something wrong with my save.

Gstaff, are you seriously just going to continue on ignoring us? I asked you an honest question. If all you can do is copy/paste the same comment that you have been giving us since August then are you admitting that absolutely no progress has been made on PS3 dlc since your last post? That is what you are currently implying unless you would like to say otherwise.
